⏁ in early 2024 i heard a song on the radio on my way to get some gas. just a minimal single chord strummed banjo and a small group of voices. it seemed perfect in the moment as the moment became perfect in itself. i never found out who it was, sounded kinda like early country gospel? in a time of searching i discovered a type of gospel singing known as lined out singing which is said to have begun in the late 1800s in scotland. it migrated to appalachia and became an obscure root of american gospel, country.... a spontaneous call and response type of acapella singing led by a clerk with a chorus of singers revealing the raw beauty and power of the human voice with its unique varieties its unadorned simplicity gave weight to the words as they were sung. i wanted to make a record that emulated this kind of music.
⏄ is this that? Perhaps ryan and i decided to make another record together after the bible. my idea was to go back to writing songs in the manner in which i began then present them as described in ⏁ solely banjo voice and choir ryan mentioned that justin had been playing the banjo i’d done some prior work with blake for a live london performance with a choir and there it was recorded in 3 days, a year thereafter at april base andrew justin ryan nevers blake with his selected six part choir trusting in our mutual love and respect for each others proclivities later adding 12 more singers in london and randal in minneapolis we figured it out.
⏃ the songs took some doing i needed to become a better writer so i asked andrew to write some hits he’d rarely written songs in this way of simple song demos of guitar and voice i took to the study of the works of the many great songwriters, their work, lives, process. in doing so allowing their madness pain and truth to become mine i failed so often until i didn’t it got better in the end there were 30 songs that transcended into consideration ryan and i picked 12 and decided the track listing which we adhered to throughout the entire process

@jose.gonz.music announces his fifth studio album, “Against the Dying of the Light”, out March 27th, with the titular track out today!
Since his previous album, “Local Valley”, the dramatic darkening of shadows across the global landscape has demanded blunter truth telling, carried by a more forceful, often frustrated and even angry expression from the singer-songwriter. With its focus on technological fears, alongside wider issues like the need to identify unhelpful thinking and refuse non-inclusive ideologies, “Against the Dying of the Light” was born out of deep conviction as much as artistic choices.
Reflecting on the album as a whole, José explains: “Against the Dying of the Light is a reflection on how we create hurdles to human flourishing by clinging stubbornly to dogmatic ideologies where people follow dudes who pretend to know shit they don’t know.
These are songs about how we can navigate humanity towards flourishing on an individual and a collective level. They can be listened to just for the sounds, harmonies, and rhythms but the lyrics are meant to inspire people to engage and take action by collaborating to solve collective problems.”
Pre-order the silver LP and art print now!
@brokensocialscene ’s new album, “Remember The Humans,” is out now!
This is the sound of a band deepening rather than reinventing, exploring the emotional implications of forms they have spent over 20 years shaping. In a culture defined by abstraction and distance, BSS have made a record that insists that we remember each other, that we remember the human.
“Remember The Humans registers losses accrued and time’s passage yet revels in the revivifying effects of communal rediscovery.” - Record Collector ****
“a complex, sophisticated record alive with both darkness and hope.” - MOJO **** “BSS retain the knack of bringing a wealth of emotional weight to their lilting melodies. With themes of deep humanity and connection, Remember The Humans offers a warm hug.” - Far Out
“Remember The Humans is a welcome reminder of why Broken Social Scene endeared themselves to us in the first place.” - The Line Of Best Fit

We’re deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Taylor Kirk, an incredibly gifted musician and songwriter. Through his work with Timber Timbre, he created music that was haunting, timeless, and truly singular. We had the privilege of working with him on his album Sincerely, Future Pollution. Our thoughts are with his family, and with everyone who knew him or was moved by his music.

@jose.gonz.music ’s new album, “Against The Dying Of The Light”, is out now!🖤
The album explores topics such as game theory, moral philosophy, and the narratives we use to explain our world, delivered with warmth and immediacy through José’s distinctively engaging, deeply contemplative, acoustic-based songcraft.
“As a concerned world citizen, I wrote these songs as a reflection of our times. Times of amazing progress, but also worrying backslides to dogmatic tribal ideologies and an extremely uncertain future. These are songs about how we can navigate humanity towards flourishing on an individual and a collective level. They can be listened to just for the sounds, harmonies, and rhythms, but the lyrics are meant to inspire people to engage and take action by collaborating to solve collective problems. For humanism and enlightenment values and against the dying of the light.”
